Professional Wrestling Just Tap Out (JTO) is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion and training facility owned and promoted by Taka Michinoku.[1] The promotion places emphasis on a style of puroresu that combines high-flying, submission wrestling and martial arts. Most matches are held under submission-only rules.
The promotion was founded by Michinoku after his previous promotion, Kaientai Dojo (now Active Advance Pro Wrestling) dismissed him after he was involved in a cheating scandal.[2][3] They held their first show on July 8, 2019 in Korakuen Hall.[4]
Unlike most professional wrestling promotions, their top honor isn't a championship. Instead, wrestlers compete in tournaments and ranking matches, with the top ranking ('King of JTO' for men and 'Queen of JTO' for women) considered the highest honor.[5] Those honors are currently held by Taka Michinoku & Tomoka Inaba respectively.
The promotion holds partnerships with various other promotions from the Japanese independent scene such as World Wonder Ring Stardom. Tomoka Inaba and Aoi are two of JTO's wrestlers who appeared in several events promoted by Stardom such as Stardom New Blood 1 and New Blood 2.[6][7]
